France have been hit with a virus that could see the team's starting centre-back pairing miss the World Cup final, sources have told ESPN.
According to sources, Raphael Varane has small symptoms of the virus and fellow defender Ibrahima Konate has not left his room after feeling unwell.
Varane and Konate were among five France players who missed training two days before the World Cup final against Argentina. Dayot Upamecano, Adrien Rabiot and Kingsley Coman were struck down by illness at the start of the week and they also missed Friday's practice.
France coach Didier Deschamps said they were taking precautions to stop a virus spreading through the squad after Upamecano and Rabiot missed the semifinal win over Morocco.
